Shadows of Self-Love
In shadows, born of love's dark night,
I wandered lost, a soul in flight.
With parents' love forever lost,
Insecurity, my heavy cost.
A hollow ache, an empty core,
I longed for love, forevermore.
But in the depths, a flame did burn,
A self-love lesson hard to learn.
I looked within, through tear-filled eyes,
To find the strength to self-advised.
Insecurity may still abide,
But self-love fills the void inside.
For in the mirror, I now find,
A love profound, of every kind.
The past, a ghost, no longer reigns,
In my own love, I break the chains.
